I had a similar reaction on Tuesday when he started this sequence. My first thought was "Now he'll know how Dems feel when he puts words in their mouths that have, at best, a tangential relation to anything they've ever actually said." Then I realize the two unwarranted assumptions in that thought: a) that the prominent Dems he uses as mouthpieces for his strawman antirepresentation of liberalism lampoons give the proverbial two tugs of a dead dog's tail what he has to say; and b) that he's capable of knowing what a non-"conservative" feels, or indeed of believing that non-"conservative" thought is anything other than a delusion brought on by eating too many Oglanuts.
